Chords

[Note] I don't know proper notation for measures/timing, but each |chord| is a 4-4 measure,
so the first F/C and C of the intro/chorus/instrumental are 8 counts each in total.

Intro

| F/C | F/C | C | C | F/C | F/C | G | G | C | C/B | Am | F/C | C | G | C |

Verse 1

 Am
Lookin’ back well I see you
     F/C
With eyes that shouldn't be so blue
C                             G
Clearer than the calm before the rain
   Am
So alive it wasn't fair
   F/C
To live without a single care
   C                                 G
I loved you and you felt for me the same
   Dm7                              F/C
So beautiful that words could not define
Dm7                                G
Sweeter than the Lord's communion wine

Chorus

      F/C                        C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry
                  F/C                        G
Can't you hear my tears ringin’ through the night
         C  C/B              Am        F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light

Verse 2

    Am
And winter came and blood ran cold
   F/C
as ever present sleet and snow
C                             G
Outside of a December window pane
     Am
This house would never be our home
F/C
Hand in hand we walk alone
    C                                G
I thought the sun would never shine again
        Dm7                         F/C
And the oldest violin could never whine
  Dm7                     G
A melody as sorrowful as mine

Chorus

      F/C                        C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry
                  F/C                        G
Can't you hear my tears ringin’ through the night
         C  C/B             Am      F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light

Verse 3

         Am
Now I've seen your face a thousand times
    F/C
And nightmares runnin’ through my mind
   C                 G
It hurts, just to pretend
        Am
But the devil fell and so have I
     F/C
From perfect grace you faced the sky
C                                    G
Never thought a love like this would end
          Dm7                                    F/C
Now your words they cut right through me like a knife
  Dm7                             G
I gave my love and now I take my life

Chorus

      F/C                        C
Evangeline can't you see I'm sorry
                  F/C                        G
Can't you hear my tears ringin through the night
         C  C/B             Am      F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light
         C  C/B             Am      F/C
I wait in hell between these bed sheets
             C G             C
And pray to God for morning light
